Tho Atchison nr.d tho Rock Island roads gave notice to day to Chairman Caldwell of the Western l'asaenffcr association that beginning with next Sundny they would reduce the first class passenger rate between Chicago and Denver by $o. the cut to bo operative in both directions. The announcement to tho chairman was the sequence of a conference held this morning between the general passenger agents of tho Northwestern, Burlington, Atchison and tho Rock Island over tho fast trains which the two former lines have announced be tween Chicago and Denver. The At chiton and tho Rock Island having longer routes to Denver than th other two roads cannot meet tho fast time made by tho North western and tho Burlington except at great ex penso and inconvenience. They therefore asked that an extra fare bo charged on the new fast trains and that they be used as 'limited trains. To this request the Burling ton and the Northwestern refused to accede, savin"- that tho buinos would not warrant them in charging more than the regular fare. The Kock Island and tho Atchison then asked that the fast trains be taken olT, con tending that the amount ef tho Colo rado business at tho present time was not of sufficient volume to warrant any special train service, lnis re quest was also refused, and then tho Atchison and Rock Island announced that there was nothing fur them to do but to make a rate lower than offered by the other two roads, and said that on tho date on which the Burlington and tho Northwestern inaugurated their fast train service they would re duce their rate between Chicago and Denver bv $5. The Burlington and tho Northwest ern said they would meet any rates that were made by the Atchison and the Rock Island, and would slill keep their fast trains in service. As soon as the matter was reported to unairman jaiawoii, no called a meeting of all in terested lines for to morrow to consider tho matter and see if some settlemen t, could not bo reached The trouble is certain to involve pas- sengerates between Omaha and Chi cago, and Kansas City and Chicago, as well as the through rates to Den ver, inasmuch as the fast trains of the Burlington and tho Northwestern will shorten their running time to both of these cities. Tlin l'r-H A HHiM'litt Ion la Arranging fur H Junket. Arrangements have been made ty me committee on mo .Nebraska press association for an excursion to Now Orleans ana Fort Arlhur, Tex., in the month of February. Tho trio will be made via tho following railroads ISurMngton & Missouri River, Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, and Southern Pacific, leaving iincoln via tho B. & M. on .Saturday, February 12 at 1:10 p. m.

One or more Pulraan sleepingcars will bechartered and may bo used during the entire trip. The estimated expense for the trip is $o0 for each person.

If less than forty are received, the trip will he de elated off and all the money received win no at once returned, n more than forty applications are made the forty first received will be assigned to a car, and the others will be given a second car if enough are received to pay for it. Ut.less enough applica tions ate received to pay for two cars, the number in excess of forty will be assigned berths in the regular sleeper, and will have to go to hotels at points where stops are made.
